The Tractive X-TREME rear shock for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin uses a closed, pressurised damper design to keep damping consistent as conditions change. Its architecture separates oil and gas and integrates a remote reservoir to better manage heat and maintain control over longer rides. This model is a spring-equipped unit designed for riders who want broad tuning range and durability-focused construction.

Who is this for?

  • Africa Twin riders carrying luggage or a passenger who need a wider tuning window.
  • Riders alternating between sealed roads and rougher surfaces where consistent damping matters.
  • Owners who prefer a fully adjustable shock to suit different loads and terrain.

Design & features

  • Closed, pressurised shock design to reduce cavitation and help maintain stable damping under repeated impacts.
  • Oil/gas separation via an internal piston and a remote reservoir to support heat management and consistency.
  • Coil spring supplied as part of the assembly.

Tuning Controls

  • Triple adjustability: rebound damping, compression damping, and a separate high-speed compression circuit.

Base Setup (factory preset)

  • Delivered with Tractive’s baseline settings intended as a starting point; final setup should be matched to rider weight, load, and typical terrain.

Before You Install

  • Confirm model fitment for your specific CRF1000L variant and year before installation.
  • Plan time to set sag and verify clearance around the remote reservoir and hose routing.

Serviceability/Lifecycle

  • Designed as a serviceable shock; periodic servicing helps maintain performance and reliability over time.
